Disposable Straight Razors & Shavettes

About

Shavettes are interesting tools. For decades barbers have stayed away from using traditional straight razors for health reasons, so the shavette was created and quickly gained popularity as a tool of the trade. A shavette is essentially a straight razor that uses half of a safety razor blade, rather than a blade that is sharpened and honed. While this started as a great tool for barbers to shave the back of a neck or edge up a hairline, they quickly became popular for other uses.
